Correct Answer Bromochlorodifluoromethane Allow halogens not in alphabetical order Ignore correct but unnecessary numbers given in name
Reject
Mark 1
Correct Answer
Mark 1
Correct Answer Any two from Halogenoalkanes; Absorb heat from fire Prevent oxygen from reaching the fire/form a layer that excludes oxygen Absorb free radicals in combustion propagation Strength of C-F bond makes molecules inert / strength of C-F bond makes it hard to break
Reject
Mark 2

Correct Answer Halogenoalkanes such as CF2ClBr can release Cl free radicals Cl free radicals react with O3 Ozone layer depletes Leading to greater levels of UV exposure Greater risk of skin cancer
Reject
Mark 4
(Any 3 from above, in context and using correct terminology) AND CF3CHF2 has strong C-F bonds so does not release F radicals

Correct Answer Moles of thiosulfate = (12.75/1000 x 0.2) = 0.00255 mol (1) Moles of iodine = (0.00255 /2) = 0.001275 / 1.275 x 10-3 / 0.00128 / 1.28 x 10-3 (1) Allow TE for correct use of ratio for 2nd mark Correct answer alone = 2 marks
Correct Answer Moles of Cu2+ = 0.00255 (1) Allow TE from b (ii) [Cu2+] = 0.255 mol dm-3 (1) Allow TE for scaling up correctly Correct answer alone = 2 marks 3SF is the least accurate level of the measurements used in the calculation/experiment (1) OWTTE

Correct Answer Curve with higher peak to left of 750C peak (1) Smaller area under curve above Ea (1) Reaction rate slower as fewer particles have E Ea (so fewer successful collisions per second) (1)
Reject
Mark 3
Correct Answer Provides alternative mechanism / route / pathway (1) Of lower activation energy (1) Hence a greater proportion of molecules can react (at a given T) (1)

Section C Question Number 21 (a) (i) Correct Answer Cr2O72- + 14H+ + 6e- 2Cr3+ + 7H2O (1) Reject Reject Mark 1 Mark 2
Correct Answer 3 CH3CH2OH + 2Cr2O72- + 16H+ 3CH3COOH + 4Cr3+ + 11H2O 3:2 ratio (1) Rest of equation (1) Allow 2nd mark if equation balanced but with water shown as both reactant and product
Correct Answer To prevent the mixture heating too rapidly /prevent ethanol evaporating
Mark 1
Correct Answer Suitable flask & heat indicated (1) Liebig Condenser (1) Correct water flow (1) Must be in the context of a reflux setup
Reject The apparatus would not work e.g. sealed apparatus -1 Poor diagram e.g. significant gap between condenser and flask -1 Reject
Mark 3
Correct Answer Green / blue Correct Answer They have a (very) high boiling temperature / are ionic compounds

Correct Answer Increase yield (1) As reaction moves to RHS as there are fewer (gaseous) molecules (1)
Reject
Mark 2
Correct Answer Any two considered suggestions e.g. Yield of lab process may be low Cost of oxidising agent Toxicity of oxidising agent Disposal of Cr3+ Control of temperature/rate in scaled up reaction could be difficult The lab process has a lower atom economy Energy costs to separate ethanoic acid from reaction mixture Lab procedure is a batch process
Correct Answer Discussion of four aspects of processes e.g four from Cativa runs at lower P Hence less energy required (for compression) Cativa has 100% atom economy Methanol in cativa could be obtained from renewable sources Cativa produces only one product so less separation required Cativa runs at higher temp so greater energy requirements for heating Each discussion point may made be made using reverse argument but only awarded once 2 additional pieces of information e.g 2 from
